etl vs ul

In electrical coding is ETL-approval the same as an UL-approval?
My company sell mini racelette cheese warmers and we want to sell a 110v version in the US. The company in HOLLAND has asked the question above.
Please advise!

Either one is fine. Both are nationally recognized testing laboratories.
